Improve your seat and enhance your riding experience
Through clear explanations and photos of each exercise, The Rider's Fitness Guide to a Better Seat helps you achieve a good basic position that is centered, aligned, balanced, and relaxed. An improved seat will help you eliminate back pain and post-riding soreness, lessen fatigue, enjoy riding more, minimize the risk of injury, and improve your performance. Inside you'll find:
Three full exercise routines for beginner, intermediate, and advanced fitness levels, all requiring just minutes a day
Exercise programs that do not require special equipment, so you can do them at home, in the barn, or on the go
A lay-flat, spiral-bound format and two free tear-out workout guides for take-anywhere convenience
After just ten days on the beginner program, you'll feel a difference in your seat; after a month on the intermediate program, you'll have a "new" seat; the advanced program offers lifelong maintenance to ensure your continued riding pleasure and improved performance.

Re- Do Review,
This review is from: The Rider's Fitness Guide to a Better Seat (Plastic Comb)
I regret having to do this, upon further education regarding Equine Fitness, and Equine Massage, I have been exposed to real Professional Equine Massage and Fitness Training. I have now learned that Mr. Jean Pierre Hourdebaigt"s understanding of a better seat and riding is limited and it is indeed, a dry and uneducated read, I'm sorry to say. Mr. Hourdebaight does not ride, and in regards to his Equine Massage, has only been massaging horses for a brief time, both his Equestrian riding skills and Massage Skills are novice at best. I am truly sorry, and apologize for my premature review earlier last year. Save your money!

A Very Dry Read,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rider's Fitness Guide to a Better Seat (Plastic Comb)
This book was not what I expected. Text book type authoring, basically an anatomy course before you find any mention of exercises (in basic black and white print without color), One would need to have a lot of time on hand to labor through words that take a while to get to the point...
Some may like it, but for for the normal everyday person like myself...I don't have the time or the desire to wade through all the material to get what I need.
